Chapter 5: The Guys on Kat
"Why do the girls get the night off?" whined Jack, causing Sky to roll his eyes at the red ranger's lack of leadership-like behavior.
"Well, not all the girls," corrected Bridge. "Look, here comes Kat."
Dr. Katherine Manx, or Kat as the rangers called her, strode into the Rec Room with her typical, no-nonsense aura. Bridge had noticed that Kat always seemed to career herself with such grace and with such perfect posture. Then again, Bridge figured, Kat was a cat.
"Rangers, I need you to test some new equipment I've created for C-Squad," announced Kat, getting straight to the point as usual.
The boys let out a collective groan. Testing equipment for the lower-ranked squads usually consisted of locking and unlocking handcuffs, running ten miles to test new boot material, or worse of all, making sure all their pens had ink. Just as the boys began to rack their brain for mysterious diseases they had at just that moment contracted that required their immediate presence in bed, they noticed a sly grin on the feline's face.
"I've created a new gun prototype," continued Kat. "I would like you take it down to the shooting zone and see how it handles."
"Alright!" exclaimed Jack and Bridge, slapping high fives. Even Sky managed to crack a smile as Kat produced the weaponry from behind her back.
"Oooh, ooh," cried Bridge. "Gimme the gun!"
He and Jack snatched the lasers from Kat's claws and proceed to slide with no-so-much stealth around the Rec Room, aiming the lasers at each other. Jack let out a yowl when Bridge's finger accidentally pressed against the trigger by mistake, sending a beam of light right through one of the red ranger's dreads. Kat hissed in anger as Jack wailed while holding his fallen follicles.
"Rangers!" boomed Kat in disappointment. "These lasers are not toys. I can not have you treating my test subjects like toys," she complained as she took the guns away from Bridge and Jack.
"But Kat," protested Sky. "I didn't do anything. Let me test them for you."
"The ranger is only as good as the rests of his teammates," replied Kat, leaving Sky shooting daggers with his eyes at the other, two boys. "I think I will just have Boom test the new lasers."
"Boom!" exclaimed all three guys in surprised unison together.
"Ummm excuse me, Kat," pipped up Jack a little pretentiously. "But Boom if I can speak honestly is kinda a walking disaster. You can't possible think he is more responsible than us."
"Oh but I do," responded Kat. "See if there is any possible malfunction that could go wrong with a device, I know Boom will find it."
Kat spun around and glided out of the Rec Room, leaving all three boys with jaws dropped open in shock.
"She did have a point," mused Bridge. "Man, Kat is really smart."
"And sassy," grinned Jack.
"Jack, that's really out of line," scolded Sky.
"What?" asked Jack, feigning innocence. "Kat's attractive."
"For an alien," added on Bridge, garnering weird looks from both the other boys.
"We work for Kat," commented Sky. "It's inappropriate for us to be talking about her like that."
"Geez Sky," groaned Jack. "You don't think Kat is attractive, and you don't even think sexually about Z or Syd. What's your problem?"
"MY problem?" retorted Sky, clearly offended as he made to leave the room. "I'm not the one with the out-of-control hormones."
"Maybe he just doesn't prefer girls?" reasoned Bridge in whisper to Jack, causing the red ranger to snort in laughter.
"I heard that," yelled back Sky. "And yes, I do prefer girls."
A/N: Final chapter coming up! At long last, the girls will discuss their feelings toward Bridge and Sky. Please review!
